Java in rtx

The following are instructions for using the java rtx core plugin. This is used when there isn't a git plugin installed named "java".

If you want to use asdf-java or rtx-java then use rtx plugins install java GIT_URL.

The code for this is inside the rtx repository at ./src/plugins/core/java.rs.

Usage

The following installs the latest version of java-openjdk-17.x (if some version of openjdk-17.x is not already installed) and makes it the global default:

$ rtx use -g java@openjdk-17
$ rtx use -g java@17         # alternate shorthands for openjdk-only

See available versions with rtx ls-remote java.
